How our wedding fish and chip van works in Stone Street
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. On the menu are curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for barn weddings and weddings with a seaside feel.
Near Stone Street, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
